2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I would love to trade down from 16 to 21 or 22 while grabbing DFS.

I would also love to trade up to 10 from either 16/28 while just taking Bertans salary back.
 
I'm loving the fact that the jazz seem to like Keyonte George. Hopefully there is legit smoke there.

yes, i'm a broken record, but again, if that's the draft you end up with, without using picks or other assets to move up, whytf would you move up to take jarace walker? crazy town

Because everyone is going to have preferences after doing all the work that the draft takes. I don't think any good GM is going to be content with the mindset of "well I kind of like everyone in this group so whoever falls to me is fine and dandy".

DFS just doesn’t fit the timeline very well. I’d rather focus on getting guys that are between our new draft picks and Lauri to help bridge the gap. Don’t blow our options on guys like Conley that only have a 2-3 year window before they lose their effectiveness.

You’re overthinking this WAY too much. DFS is on a great contract and we’d only move down 5/6 spots.

It's less that DFS isn't on the timeline and more that's hea going to get in the way of developing the guys you draft this year. Jazz should still be in a player development mindset.

Jazz aren't in all our compete mode yet. I wouldnt be looking to add mid tier vets.

The nets would have to be sending 21 and 22 to make that happen. I would take 2 of GG, Whitehead, Sidy, Clowney, Jett, Lewis and Sensabaugh with those 2 picks and I think there is a pretty good chance one of those guys is also available at 28. All of a sudden we have an insane amount of big wings to develop and matchup with anyone.

Yeah, I don’t really see that but you could be right.
 
Dallas should do a 3-way deal with Utah and Brooklyn. Dallas moves salary, gets one or two useful players and still drafts at #21, which is a valuable pick. Utah would draft at #10. Brooklyn would draft at #16. Jazz draft at 9 and 10 to get two of their guys back-to-back.

Otherwise, the Jazz need to move up from 9 into the top 6 without giving up #16. It would need to be 9 + future pick to move up to 5 or 6.

Seems like too sweet of a deal for Dallas.
